[Bug 1500751] Re: Cryptsetup Keyboard not working on Xubuntu 3.19.0-30

[Morten Clausen]

The kernel from comment #46 didn't resolves the bug. The issue remains
and even the reboot-workaround don't do the trick. When I disable splash
then I can enter the passphrase, but afterwards the boot hangs with the
kernel-log repeatedly stating

[drm:gen8_irq_handler [i915_bpo]] *ERROR* The master control interrupt
lied (SDE)!

So it's almost the same behaviour as with the 3.19.0-30 kernel.

Thanks for your work so far and if you need any further information
please let me know.

Title:
  Cryptsetup Keyboard not working on Xubuntu 3.19.0-30

Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I am running Xubuntu 15.04 and just upgraded to the latest kernel (3.19.0-30).
  After upgrading the boot time is longer (what is negligible) but the more severe error is, that I cannot enter my passphrase when I see the crypt dialog.
  I just see the dialog to enter my passphrase, but when I try to enter it, nothing appears in the textfield. I tried with the builtin laptop keyboard but also with an external USB keyboard.

  I thought about supplying more information, but things like the syslog
  are not helping apparently (I was not able to boot until the syslog
  would capture information...). If you need anything I can provide, I
  gladly help.

  [Test case]
  1. On an affected system boot into kernel 3.19.0-30

  [Solution]
  The "solution" for now is booting the older Kernel 3.19.0-28 (which isn't a real solution).
